Null Pointer Exceptions this morning

#1

Is there a system outage or is it just me? Most of my pistons failed to execute this morning… I’m seeing in the logs a Null Pointer Excpetion: Nothing had changed on my end. I noticed in one of my pistons, I’m getting it when doing a time() call. Here are some of my logs:

I also see this log message in one of my pistons:
|12/3/2018, 1:39:59 AM +89ms|
|+206ms|║Actual sunrise and sunset times are unavailable; please reset the location for your hub|
|12/2/2018, 4:58:59 PM +152ms|
|+259ms|║Actual sunrise and sunset times are unavailable; please reset the location for your hub|

Also seeing the variable $nextScheduledTime = Invalid Date. And all of my pistons say “Next Scheduled: Never”

#4

Did something get updated in your account? Maybe verify your timezone in the ST app (classic)

#5

Where do I do that? I don’t see any option to set a time zone

#6

Move your current location to something else (far far away), then move it back to the correct setting.

#7

Ok. I just checked the IDE, I have two hubs. One correctly shows America/New York… This hub, however, is blank…

Just tried your suggestion and it seems to have corrected the issue. Both hubs now show America/New York. The scheduled pistons now show a next execution time.

One question, however, I still see the variable $nextScheduledTime = Invalid Date. Is that a problem?

#8

Not sure about that… open the piston and see if it updates.

#9

Well… It doesn’t seem to be updating, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting anything either. So I don’t know. I also notice that the $device and $devices variables are also grayed out and say “Location”, which looks similar to the $nextScheduledTime variable, is that normal?

#10

Post a pic of where you’re seeing this… Monday morning, my brain functions are limited.

Mine shows the same thing, I’m guessing it’s normal
